Reinildo expressed his excitement about joining the club and is eager to use his experience to help the team stay in the Premier League. In a statement, he said, "It is a dream come true to play in the Premier League, and I'm excited to play for a historic club like Sunderland. I want to meet the team, work hard, and give everything for the Club."

Reinildo is not only skilled as a left-back but can also play in central defence. Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman praised Reinildo's passion for joining the club, which was a key factor in finalising the transfer.

Speakman said, "We've had to be patient due to his involvement in the FIFA Club World Cup, but we're delighted to welcome Reinildo to Wearside. We believe he's an ideal fit for our full-back position, and his experience will be valuable for our squad."

Reinildo will be the first Mozambican player to join the Premier League, and he's highly motivated by this challenge. The club is looking forward to welcoming him to Sunderland later this month as they build a team that can compete in the Premier League.
